RIVER SAFETY MEASURES TO BE REVIEWED JESSICA WALLACE

The presumed drowning of a soccer player at McArthur Island over the BC Day long weekend has prompted donations from the soccer community and questions about whether increased safety measures are needed along the riverbank. Dr. Michael Mthandazo entered the river for a swim with his son during a recreational soccer tournament in Kamloops on July 30, according to an online fundraiser at gofundme.com. While cooling off in the water off McArthur Island, the current of the river picked up speed and, while Mthandazo was able to help his son get out of the water, the doctor was unable to do so himself and was swept away. “Dr. Mthandazo was the sole income earner and does not have any extended family locally, so his wife, Julia, and their two sons (ages 11 and eight months) will need a lot of support from the community,” the fundraiser, organized by Noha Fossen, stated. The fundraising page was started with the blessing of Mthandazo’s wife to alleviate some of the financial burden ahead for the family.
Mthandazo moved to Vernon in January 2021, where he worked as a family physician. He was playing on a Fraser Valley team in the Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said the body of Mthandazo had not been located as of Tuesday afternoon. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin said in a statement the city is exploring whether action could be taken, including increased signage. He said the city is saddened to hear of the incident and expressed sympathy on behalf of the municipality. He added the tragedy serves as an important reminder to residents and visitors that the rivers can be unpredictable and dangerous. Trawin said the rivers remain unseasonably high and fast flowing for this time of year. Spring freshet was delayed due to a cool spring, which has caused river levels to remain high for an extended period into summer months. Coun. Bill Sarai is a Brocklehurst resident. He said when the water is at its low point, it is possible to walk along the riverbanks and from McArthur Island to Rabbit Island. See ONLINE FUNDRAISER, A7

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Habitat for Humanity Kamloops is in a period of transition, according to executive director, Bill Miller. Limited land supply and high costs are posing challenges, including limiting opportunities to do projects in Kamloops. Habitat builds homes for those in need, with the eventual owners chipping in with sweat equity. In addition to rethinking its ReStore — the home and building supply store that accepts and resells new and used building materials — the organization is looking at an alternative home ownership model, focusing on multifamily development opportunities and mulling a rental program. “There’s a lot of impacts to what we’re doing and how we do it,” Miller said. “As I said earlier, the models have to change.” KTW sat down with Miller following closure of the ReStore in Kamloops. The ReStore, previously located in the old Penny Pinchers building at Tranquille Road and Eighth Street in North Kamloops, is a fundraising arm of Habitat for Humanity. Miller said it closed because of a downturn in donations and revenue, problems with breakins and vagrancy (a man recently entered the building wielding an axe), staff and volunteer turnover and desire to find a permanent location with an adapted ReStore business model. Habitat for Humanity’s office remains in the building for now. Miller told KTW the organization is not in financial trouble and that it remains committed to Kamloops. He said Habitat for Humanity still has a classic car raffle, upon which it relies for fundraising, and receives grants, private donations and lower prices negotiated for materials and labour. A motorcycle raffle helps fund a handyman program that launched a couple of years ago, which provides free home repairs. Habitat for Humanity is currently wrapping up homes for the Neskonlith Indian Band and is about to start a 21-unit project in Salmon Arm, Miller said. The last project in Kamloops was a

duplex on Westsyde Road in 2019. “We don’t have any land here,” Miller said. “The problem that we run into in Kamloops is we can’t find a suitable piece of property to do what we want to do.” Miller said the organization is headquartered in Kamloops, but its coverage area also includes Princeton, Lytton, Lillooet, Merritt, Prince George, McBride, Lumby, Enderby, Armstrong, Salmon Arm and Revelstoke. “We’ve always been based here. We’ll always be based here,” he said. “We’d love to do something. We had a number of opportunities, at least we were exploring a number of opportunities.” One of those includes examining the feasibility of helping another non-profit in Kamloops with a mixed commercial residential project. “So, we’ll see how that goes,” Miller said. “Nothing to announce yet because we’re in the very initial stages of the dialogue.” Product from the local ReStore has gone to Salmon Arm, but Miller said the ReStore will return to Kamloops in a different capacity in the future. He said it will be a hybrid online-brick and mortar operation, include agreements with national retailers to provide consistent inventory and include pickup and delivery services. Miller said Habitat for Humanity is looking for a permanent location, preferably land upon which it can build. It previously moved from

Southgate to North Kamloops, but the Penny Pinchers property will eventually be redeveloped. Miller said the model used in the past to build affordable homes is also in flux. He said the past model involved the organization getting materials and labour donated. The house would be built and Habitat for Humanity would carry the first mortgage for the value of the house at zero per cent interest, with payments limited to 30 per cent of a family’s gross income. He said the organization is now looking at developing and selling homes at cost. He said that, due to the current price of land, it costs between $600,000 to $700,000 to build a single-family home. “If we carry 100 per cent of the financing, then we have to come up with $600,000 or $700,000 per house,” he said. In addition to the high cost of land, labour, materials and interest rates have also risen, Miller noted. At the same time, as the organization feels increased housing costs, more people need help for that same reason. “All the time,” Miller said when asked how often the organization hears from people in need of help securing affordable housing. “Every day, all week.” Habitat for Humanity Kamloops can be found online at habitatkamloops.com.

Sexual assault probe “I Still Have Faith In You” Tour! All Ages & Family Friendly! Everyone Welcome!

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Kamloops Mounties are asking the public for more information as they investigate alleged sexual assaults at a retail store in Valleyview. Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said the investigation began in late July and stem from a report involving alleged workplace sexual assaults on an underage employee that began in May and continued into July at a store in the 2000-block of the East Trans-Canada Highway. Since then, Evelyn said, other potential victims have been identified and spoken with police. “As the investigation progresses, police have
reason to believe more people may have information related to allegations involving the accused, but have not yet contacted police,” Evelyn said. “If something has happened to you or someone you know, and you have not yet reported it to police, please reach out. It’s important for us to hear from you.” Evelyn said a suspect was arrested last week and released on conditions, pending the investigation’s conclusion and possible charges. Evelyn said even if a person is not ready to proceed with criminal charges, they are still encouraged to report any
suspected sexual offences to police. Along with being able to offer and refer supports, officers can also collect data and information that may be able to help in identifying more victims and help to protect others,” Evelyn said. The Kamloops RCMP can be reached by phone at 250-828-3000. Those who have or know someone who has experienced sexual violence, and needs support, can call the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre Crisis Line for local and confidential support, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 1-888-974-7278.

Last week, yellow tape with the “Do Not Cross” message was strung across the entrance to the Thompson River on McArthur Island where a presumed drowning occurred on July 30. Dr. Michael Mthandazo entered the river for a swim with his son during a recreational soccer tournament in Kamloops. The current of the river picked up speed and, while Mthandazo was able to help his son get out of the water, the doctor was unable to do so himself and was swept away. JESSICA WALLACE/KTW
Online fundraiser for Vernon doctor’s family From A1
Sarai said the area where Mthandazo was swept away is not a popular swimming spot, but added he could see why people would have wanted to swim while playing soccer during hot weather. The temperatures on the BC Day long weekend tipped toward 40 C. Sarai said the area in question drops off four or five feet into the water and, once it drops off, the undercurrent is strong. He said someone from out of town would not necessarily know the river is much higher than it normally is at that time of year. Sarai said he does not know all of the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident, but noted he would be open to changes, as necessary. “I think it’s unfair to speculate if we could have done more,” Sarai said. “I don’t know. If there is something — absolutely
certain we as council and me, living in Brock — if there is something we could have done to prevent this, by all means, I’m all over it.” The area from where Mthandazo disappeared remained taped off at McArthur Island late last week. It is across from field No. 7. Ivy Joseph and Gerard Wilmot walk in the area on a regular basis. Multiple makeshift paths from the Rivers Trail jut down to the water. Joseph pointed to locations east near the boat launch and west near a creek mouth as safer swimming locations. Wilmot said he would not let a child near the edge of the riverbank because, if they were to slip into the water, there would be no way to get them back. He said the undercurrent is dangerous, noting the river contains hidden debris. “It’s not an area we’d let grandkids anywhere near,” Wilmot said. The couple suggested
increased signage warning people not to swim in the area, fencing and/or flotation devices nearby to improve river safety. Although signs prohibiting swimming can be found near the McArthur Island boat launch and slough, no signs are posted along the Rivers Trail in the area in which the presumed drowning occurred. Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament director Rob Piva said tournament organizers and players were “devastated” by the incident. Piva said news of the incident travelled fast around the 42-team soccer tournament, noting 90 per cent of the squads that won cash donated it to the family of Mthandazo. It equated to about $2,500. “And then I’ve got emails coming in from other guys that want to send money to them,” Piva said. The online fundraiser can be found at gofundme. com by searching “Dr. Mthandazo’s family.”

Fees suggest freedom from information
T
Even without the new $10 fee per freedom of information inquiry, the cost to access information that should be readily available to all — such as elected officials’ taxpayer-funded expenses — can carry a big bill, as KTW discovered in correspondence with the TNRD in 2019.
en bucks won’t get you as much today as it once did. You might get four beers from a six pack. You’d need a few more loonies to bag a fast food meal deal. And the bill would only cover a portion of your admission to a movie, play or sporting event. But that purple legal tender is enough to kickstart a freedom of information request at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Less than a year ago, however, that FOI request was free of charge. Alas, we cannot blame inflation for suddenly giving a TNRD FOI request the cache of steak, rather than hamburger. For that, we must credit a case of regional district monetary mimicry. Why? Because it can. And, apparently, only because the provincial government did it first. It’s not the amount of the fee that is necessarily the point. Ten bucks is not a lot of money for a reporter or any citizen seeking information from government. It can add up, though, for organizations like ours that do file more than the occasional FOI request. More damaging is the psychological barrier it creates, the $10 fee adding yet another opaque layer that has increasingly obscured government transparency year after year after year. The B.C. NDP government implemented a $10 FOI fee last fall, despite the protestations of many groups, including the BC and Yukon Community

VIEWS
Newsmedia Association, of which Kamloops This Week is a member. There is a perverse irony in the regional district’s decision to implement a fee, a decision that came on the heels of the TNRD vowing to be more transparent in the wake of a spending scandal uncovered by this newspaper. That spending scandal documented hundreds of thousands of public dollars that were spent in inappropriate ways under former CAO Sukh Gill. KTW’s series on the spending led to wholesale changes in policy at the TNRD and resulted in a $500,000 forensic audit that confirmed what this newspaper had reported. With newspapers having margins as thin as Alex Jones’ credibility, it is possible many news outlets, including ours, may not have been able to uncover all the information they have had they been confronted with multiple $10 fees when filing numerous FOI requests. More troubling is how the fees were implemented by the Robert W. Doull President/Publisher President Aberdeen Publishing Inc.

provincial government and by the regional district. Kamloops-South Thompson (BC Liberal) MLA Todd Stone lamented the lack of debate on the fee issue, which was quickly adopted in the legislature last November. At the TNRD, the new $10 FOI fee was decided upon by three senior administrators — and the elected board apparently had no idea this decision had been made. Think about that: the 26 elected directors who decide on laws and policy in the regional district had no say in a significant policy change in that regional district. One director, Area P’s Mel Rothenburger, did not know about the new fee until contacted by KTW months after the fee had been implemented. (To his credit, Rothenburger attempted in July to have the $10 FOI fee removed, but the majority of the TNRD board voted against his proposal. Only five of the 24 elected directors at the meeting voted to axe the
fee: Rothenburger, Kamloops councillors Dale Bass and Denis Walsh, Ashcroft Mayor Barbara Roden and Area E director Sally Watson.) The provincial NDP government has argued its $10 fee — a reduction from the initially planned $25 charge — was enacted due to an overwhelming increase in FOI requests, most of which have come from the Opposition BC Liberals and from a small number of tenacious journalists. The fact that the NDP, while in Opposition, fed on FOI requests to uncover scandals in the BC Liberal governments of the day seems to have been edited out of the talking points handed to various NDP MLAs when they were trying to defend the new fee. Bob Mackin, a Vancouver journalist who has uncovered plenty of information the public needs to know —including financial data relating to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and to the operation of BC Place Stadium — filed 397 FOI
requests in a one year, more than all requests submitted by other reporters in that year. That free access to information (at least at the beginning of the process, as the subsequent costs to get that information can be high, as the cutline next to the adjacent image notes) would have cost Mackin $3,970 under the new fee system. So, the provincial government’s defence is that it is overwhelmed by FOI requests and feels the $10 fee will weed out less serious inquires. At the TNRD, there has hardly been an avalanche of FOI requests burying staffers up to their necks in paperwork. Through the first half of this year, the regional district has received 10 FOI requests. In all of 2021, it received 22 such requests — an average of fewer than two per month. Access to information that should be public is a crucial part of the democratic process. Adding fees, regardless of how small that cost may be, only serves as another crack in the foundation of that process — and we all pay, one way or another. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ALREADY MISSING HABITAT’S RESTORE Editor: The Kamloops Habitat for Humanity ReStore closed on July 30 and moved to Salmon Arm. I feel like a good friend has died. My interest in Habitat for Humanity started during a trip to Ontario. I saw the group was building a house just down the street from my mom’s place. It was the first I had heard of the non-profit and I was eager to get involved. However, it was a few years before Habitat organized in Kamloops. I did volunteer as soon as I knew there was a ReStore and only retired a few weeks ago. Dustin, the first manager, worked long and hard to get the store organized and open. He was almost always smiling and was always helpful and grateful to staff and volunteers. He readily acknowledged how valued our customers were. Other managers of the same ilk were Tom and Deb.
I thank those three especially for making my volunteer time something to look forward to each week. Over the years, I worked with many managers, staff and volunteers. It was our customers that kept me going. They were like family and I had the privilege of getting to know several of them quite well. It was always exciting to see what treasures they brought to the till. Thank you to all those faces I got to know and love — staff, volunteers and customers. I expect they will miss the ReStore as much as I do. Cathy Holman Kamloops
WE ALL FUND ‘FREE’ EVENTS IN CITY
Editor: I took a bike ride through Riverside Park and stopped to enjoy the live band playing in the nightly Music in the Park series. It was great to see hundreds of diverse people from all generations happily gathering after the cancellations experienced under COVID-19, fires and floods. It prompted me reflect on the importance of coming together to experience the arts and society’s role in supporting these initiatives. What was absent at the park was anyone protesting about taxpayer dollars going toward a public recre-
ational space like the park, the cost of the bandshell, the administrative costs of running such a program or the fees paid to the artists. Perhaps it seemed free upon forgetting our tax dollars were at play. Other “free” events occur throughout Kamloops for people of all ages and some have varied admission costs or utilize corporate sponsorship to cover part of the expenses. Many of them happen in taxpayer-funded buildings that also serve as action centres in times of climate or public health emergencies. Seeing these formerly considered
PARK PORT-A-POTTIES NEED ATTENTION Editor: I love Music in the Park, but this year I have been disappointed with the condition of the porta-potties in Riverside Park. We were at the Kamloops International Buskers Festival and Overlander’s Day and
they had some really nice facilities. The port-a-potties in Riverside Park have no hand cleaner and, often, no toilet paper. I saw Ben, the young man who volunteers his time in cleaning the downtown area, maintain-
ing the port-a-potties. How is that acceptable? Someone has really dropped the ball with the sanitary conditions of the temporary facilities in Riverside Park. Rocky Johnson Kamloops

Carjacking suspect’s bail hearing is Aug. 11 NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD BRADLEY VENN FACES FOUR CHARGES FROM THE AUG. 5 INCIDENT MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man accused of stealing a taxi cab and flipping it on Fortune Drive in North Kamloops last week remains in custody this week on a quartet of charges ahead of a bail hearing set for Thursday, Aug. 11. Bradley James Venn, 19, is facing charges of robbery, flight from police, dangerous operation of a conveyance and failure to stop for an incident that occurred on the afternoon of Friday, Aug. 5, resulting in a Kami Cabs taxi on its roof and another car damaged. Kamloops RCMP said it received a report at 2:47 p.m. about a robbery with a weapon, in which a cab driver was threatened and had their taxi stolen on Fortune Drive. Insp. Jeff Pelley said police immediately responded and found the suspect in the cab in the area.
He said officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver fled at a high rate of speed. The stolen taxi was then involved in collisions with two other vehicles near Fortune Drive and Sydney Avenue — in front of Northills Centre — with the cab ending up on its roof. The suspect fled the area on foot, but was quickly arrested. “This was very brazen and dangerous situation in a highly populated area of the city putting the public at extreme risk,” Pelley said. Anybody with information, including video of the incident, is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Back to Basics: 10 Financial Planning areas to review 2022 has been off to a bumpy start for investors. Sometimes the best things we can do is get back to basics and look at what we can control, and keep our finances on track. Here is a 10-point checklist to help with your review, in no particular order:
• Family Budget: Household spending may have drifted since the COVID pandemic. Do you have a budget and track your expenses? Revisiting spending patterns is important to highlight where changes can be made to help achieve savings or debt-reduction goals quicker.
• Beneficiaries: This includes reviewing RSPs/RIFs, TFSAs, work plans, pensions and insurance policies to ensure all are up to date. Many of these can flow outside the estate and Will, which can typically avoid income tax and probate.
• Debts: Debts can be a top stressor on families. With rising interest rates, we recommend reviewing to see if there are any opportunities to reduce credit card debts, lower interest rates, or review your mortgage details. These could save hundreds of dollars a month. Given the increase in property values, is there potential to consolidate debts into your mortgage? It is paramount to get out of credit card debt as fast as possible.
• Retirement Plan: When was the last time you or your advisor updated your plan to ensure you are on track? What assumptions are being used and are they still accurate? Two key assumptions to review are projected returns and tax rates. Are any adjustments required given the changes many have faced over the past couple of years?
• Insurance: Reviewing all life, disability and personal property policies is recommended. Is your coverage adequate for your goals and increased cost of living?
• Savings: How much are you saving and for what goal? Depending on your objectives, different savings vehicles may make more sense. Should we be using an RSP or TFSA? Have we maxed out RESP grant monies for kids/ grandkids? Many are not able to fill every bucket, so where should they prioritize? Are your monthly savings automated to ensure they remain a priority?
• Investment Portfolio: Given the challenging market conditions thus far, how has your portfolio fared? Is it time to rebalance? Does it make sense to consider some tax-loss selling? Does your portfolio continue to align with your objectives (example: retirement plans)? How much are you paying on fees? • Estate Plan: Wills are encouraged to be reviewed every few years, or after any major life event (divorce, birth, death, marriage, etc.). Extra consideration is often required for blended families. Sadly, we have seen instances where procrastination in estate planning has caused major issues. • While reviewing your Will, it also makes sense to ensure your Power of Attorney (POA) and/or representation agreements and health care directives are in place and up to date. We also encourage sharing this information with relevant family members

TD Wealth Private Investment Advice
• Tax planning: Were any recommendations made by a tax professional? This could include RSP contributions or opening a spousal RSP, income harvesting for small business owners or retirees, or charitable donations to name only a few. • Credit Card points: Review your credit card offering reward points or cash back. Does the card still suit your needs and are you getting the right value from your card? Is it time to redeem some points, splurge and enjoy? I was pleasantly surprised how many points I racked up these past 2 years. While not an exhaustive list, we feel this is a good place to begin reviewing your personal circumstances and what positive changes can be made to strengthen your financial position. As always, we strongly encourage working with a trusted and knowledgeable advisor. Written By Keith Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

Groundbreaking for Katherine’s Place THE BUILDING IN NORTH KAMLOOPS WILL HAVE 39 UNITS FOR YOUTH AGING OUT OF CARE JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A groundbreaking was held on Aug. 4 for a new housing project in North Kamloops designed for youth aging out of care. The province is building 39 units of supportive housing at 560 Tranquille Rd., on a vacant lot located across from Our Lady of Perpetual Help school. BC Housing is pitching in $13.1 million for new units, which are expected to be completed by late next year, while A Way Home Kamloops will fund the undisclosed cost of the office portion of the building. A Way Home Kamloops will relocate its offices to the North Kamloops site from downtown and will have support staff at Katherine’s Place around the clock. BC Housing director of regional development Tyler Baker said construction will begin soon and the building will open late next year. He said of 600 affordable supportive housing units in Kamloops, only three per cent are for youth, noting there is demand for this type of housing. The project is named Katherine’s Place in honour of the late Katherine McParland, who advocated for youth aging out of care. McParland was
homeless as a youth and eventually founded A Way Home Kamloops, a nonprofit agency dedicated to finding homes for youth on the street. McParland died suddenly in December 2020. Many people paid their respects to McParland during the groundbreaking. Dayna Chapman previously lived in foster care with McParland and worked with her on blueprints for the project now underway. Chapman said she and McParland had discussed the project. “I’m so excited that it’s coming to light,” she said. Nicholas Simons, the province’s minister of social development and poverty reduction, was on hand for the groundbreaking, saying too many people struggle to find housing in B.C. Kamloops Coun. Dale Bass was there on behalf of the city. She said that when she worked for Kamloops This Week, she reported on the homeless and recalled finding a young person sleeping in mud. Bass lauded the new housing. “This is so important because our housing market is insane. Our rental market is insane,” she said. Bass said youth homelessness if often hidden, with many young people couch surfing.

Police probe nurse’s assault complaint at RIH ARLENE TEDJO TOLD CTV HER WEEKEND SHIFT INCLUDE BEING TRIPPED BY A MAN WHO THEN UTTERED A RACIST REMARK KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Kamloops Mounties are investigating after a nurse at Royal Inland Hospital said she was assaulted by a patient in the emergency room, with the patient also accused of uttering a racist remark to the nurse. Arlene Tedjo told CTV she was working in the emergency department on Saturday, Aug. 6, when police were called due to the behaviour of the man. Tedjo told CTV she woke up the unresponsive patient and, shortly thereafter, she walked by the man. “That individual purposely waited until I was walking past to kick my leg with the intent of tripping me,” Tedjo told CTV, noting the man almost struck a co-worker. “I stumbled and then he said to me, ‘I don’t know how they do things in your country’ — implying, first, that I’m not from this country and being racist towards my level of education and professionalism.”
Tedjo said she was angry and insulted. “Because firstly, I am Canadian and I am trained as a Canadian nurse,” she told CTV. “It should not matter if I was born here or not.” The man was arrested and later released from custody with a future court date. Interior Health told KTW via email staff members received support on site and finished their shifts. “Procedures are in place to respond to such incidents and follow-up is ongoing,” Interior Health told KTW. According to IH, its procedures for managing disrespectful, aggressive or violent behaviours of visitors were followed by staff in this instance and resulted in the resolution of this incident. Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Crystal Evelyn told KTW police were called to the hospital just before noon on Saturday for a report of a man who had allegedly

assaulted two employees at Royal Inland Hospital. Police located a suspect outside the hospital and arrested him. He was lodged in police holding cells and later released on conditions and a court date pending the conclusion of a police investigation and subsequent charge approval. Tedjo added that the incident is another example of myriad issues
impacting the health-care system, noting the ER at RIH had a little more than half the staff required working this past weekend. With the nursing and doctor shortage in B.C., emergency rooms are busier with patients seeking care. In response to questions from this newspaper regarding whether IH has any plans to address
security and staffing shortages at RIH in response to this incident, the health authority replied with a statement. “Our thoughts are with our staff members and the IH ED [emergency department] team, as these incidents impact everyone at the site,” the statement read. “Interior Health has procedures in place to respond to such incidents, and these procedures were followed and resulted in the resolution of this incident. We are proud of how the team worked together to respond to this unfortunate incident. We know that our nurses, physicians and staff deserve to go home safely at the end of a shift, just as those with illness have the right to health care. How we do that, in a way that respects the safety and well-being of all individuals, is the challenge, and we will continue to use and explore evidence based practices to provide safe medical care.”

Crews have contained Watching Creek fire SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Watching Creek wildfire, which was ignited by lightning about 15 kilometres northwest of Kamloops on July 29, is now being held by BC Wildfire Service crews. The update on the fire, provided on Tuesday morning, indicates the fire is not likely to spread beyond containment lines established by fire crews. The fire quickly grew to 195 hectares on Aug. 2, prompting an evacuation alert to be put in place by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, concerning the areas of Pass Lake, McQueen
Lake and Isobel Lake. However, no properties were ordered evacuated. Growth in the past seven days has been minimal, with the blaze’s extent mapped at 270 hectares in size on Aug. 4 and no notable growth since then. The fire, burning in steep terrain on a hillside, was fought by ground crews and from the air, including a roster of 75 firefighters, heavy machinery and helicopters. The Watching Creek wildfire was designated as a wildfire of note, but that designation is expected to be rescinded in the coming days with the fire being held. Other fires of note within the
Next Y Dream House in Juniper MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The 2023 Central Interior chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA-CI) training house (which becomes the grand prize in the annual Kamloops Y Dream Home Lottery) will rise in Juniper Ridge. With the traditional sawing of a two-by-four “ribbon cutting” on Aug. 4, next year’s dream home is officially under construction. The CHBA-CI, Kamloops Y and Thompson Rivers University trades students were on hand to break ground on the abode at 2197 Coldwater Dr. The project serves as a training house for firstyear TRU trades and technology students, who will now build the frame and install electrical wiring. Outgoing CHBA-CI president Jere Lorenz described the realworld experience of building the training home for first-year students as “unbelievable.” “When you start doing this kind of construction, they get to do the layout, they get to do the walls, forming the joists, roof sheeting, figuring out how trusses actually go,” Lorenz said. “Normally, they’d just do little mockups in the shop.” However, for the first time,
trades students are not building the home’s foundation, given the steepness of the sloped property upon which the home will be built. “Too complex [a job] for firstyear students,” Lorenz said. Students are now in the midst of framing the house. Lorenz said this is the 33rd training house built in partnership between the CHBA-CI and TRU — and the 27th Y Dream Home. He said they are looking at incorporating other trades students, such as those studying HVAC and plumbing, to put together those respective parts of future training houses. “But right now it’s carpentry students and electrical students,” he said. Once completed, the house will be sold to the Kamloops Y, to be used in the lottery, prizes for which are drawn in early summer. Last year’s home was built in Tobiano and this year returns to Juniper Ridge for the first time since 2017. “We like to move it around and give it a different location every year,” Lorenz said. Meanwhile, the 2022 Y Dream Home has hit the open market, as was intended by its winners, with the Tobiano house up for sale for $1.195 million, just under its listed $1.2 million value.
Kamloops Fire Centre include the Maria Creek wildfire northwest of Lillooet (1,000 ha), the Nohomin Creek wildfire burning west of Lytton (3,161 ha) and the Keremeos Creek wildfire burning north of
Keremeos (6,836 ha). There are currently 52 active wildfires burning across B.C., including six in the past two days. Since the start of the wildfire season in April, there
have been 564 fires in B.C. That compares to 670 total fires in 2020 — a relatively mild year for fire activity — and the 2,117 fires seen in 2018, a particularly busy year for the wildfire service.

LOCAL NEWS A HUNGER FOR RIBFEST
Rotary Ribfest returned to Riverside Park this past weekend following a two-year pandemic-induced pause. Organizers estimate there were between 30,000 and 35,000 one-time visits over the three days and just under 80,000 total visits (including repeat customers). There were more than 20,000 people in the park on Saturday night, with the Rotary Corn Tent selling more cobs in one day than in any previous three-day run. Gator BBQ of Ontario won the Best Ribs Award, while Grizzly BBQ of Alberta captured the Best Sauce and Most Sustainable awards. Rotary Ribfest is the largest such event in Western Canada and raises money for local youth and senior programs. The total amount raised by Kamloops Daybreak Rotary will be released in September. Clockwise from left: Lines were long on Rib Row; Elijah Hunt and Juliet Obiero satisfy their appetite; a Gator BBQ ribber displays the awardwinning meat.

Tips on moving Q) I am moving into a retirement community and I am needing to hire a moving company. Any tips or suggestions? A) This is a very important question as the repercussions can be detrimental to a business as well as the individual should you choose the wrong company. Choosing a reputable moving company will save you time, money and you can rest easy knowing your belongings are in good hands. Most retirement communities have a list of preferred movers that they can share with you. Booking a preferred moving company is also beneficial as they will know the building and policies; saving time and the hassle of having to organize this beforehand. The most important piece of information one needs to ask any moving company is for a copy of their valid liability insurance. If you are using a professional organizer, it is always a good idea to ensure that if they are sub-contracting to companies that the company has valid insurance. One would assume that they do, however, this is not always the case. Do your research, ask your contact at the retirement community for referrals on moving companies and ALWAYS get a copy of valid insurance!

THE LOUISIANA HAYRIDE IS BACK SEPTEMBER 13 New Additions
More frustration with 811 system JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Bob Wren recently spent two days travelling around the South Shore in search of a family doctor. The 75-year-old Kamloops resident drove up to Aberdeen and walked down Seymour Street, visiting offices and requesting primary care. Time and time again, he was turned down. “Of all the places I went to, there’s absolutely nobody taking a new patient,” he said. In addition to being told the doctors had no room, Wren was also consistently referred to the 811 waitlist. The waitlist is maintained through HealthLinkBC under the Ministry of Health. However, Wren has questions about the effectiveness of the 811 waitlist system.
REWARD
After reading a recent KTW story about people lined up outside the Bee Well Medical Clinic downtown, Wren said he contacted a local MLA’s office with questions about whether doctors were required to take new patients from the waitlist. Wren is seeking a family doctor for both himself and his wife. He said he learned doctors are not required to take patients from that waitlist — only encouraged. Meanwhile, he said, residents are under the impression the 811 number is the mechanism by which to obtain primary care. He said if doctors are not compelled to utilize the waitlist, they can use it at their discretion. Wren and his wife only recently lost their doctors. However, he said he has heard from individuals who have spent multiple years on the waitlist and called it “bizarre.”
UP TO $3,750
“I feel that people are being referred to a process that appears to be the process to use — but it’s not working,” he said. Kamloops North-Thompson (BC Liberal) MLA Peter Milobar previously told KTW that the 811 waitlist was helpful when it was created in 2016, with many placements occurring, but noted it has since become a source of frustration. KTW sought information from the Ministry of Health about the effectiveness of the waitlist system, including how many Kamloops residents are on the waitlist and how long British Columbians are waiting, but the ministry refused to answer the questions. Wren questioned why the government is not being more transparent about the effectiveness of the 811 waitlist. “You can’t rely on it,” he said.

New nightclub to open in downtown Kamloops BLUE GROTTO OWNERS DAVID “PUP” JOHNSTON AND SHERRI KING ARE BEHIND THE NIGHTSHIFT ON FIFTH VENTURE THAT WILL OCCUPY THE FORMER CACTUS JACK’S LOCATION The new club will cater to a slightly younger crowd, down to B.C.’s legal drinking age of 19, with a house DJ playing pop music.

A new nightclub will soon open in the former Cactus Jack’s location downtown, with the owners of the Blue Grotto reinventing a classic downtown nightlife destination. Grotto owners David “Pup” Johnston and Sherri King are behind the venture at Lansdowne Street and Fifth Avenue. King said she wants to create a safe and fun environment. “We have such a diverse community and I’d like to expand on that,” she said. The new club, called Nightshift on Fifth, will be a bit different from CJs, turning to the Top 40 charts for nightly music and holding special culture-inspired events like Desi and Latino nights, appealing to international students attending Thompson Rivers University.
King said the club will have an industrial steampunk theme. Johnston said the venture came about quickly, with the couple taking over the lease of the building and opening in a matter of months. The hope is to open at the end of August. With a liquor licence and the lease signed, all that’s left to do is some remodelling — including a
new sign and a revamped interior. “Kamloops is a little bit of an industrial town, so it’s going to be kind of industrial, or steam punk, inside,” Johnston said. Johnston said he was approached a few times to take over the lease, but wasn’t interested until recently, with nightlife returning and venues open without interruption.

“Not to sound altruistic, but I don’t know if we’re really doing this for us. I think we’re doing this for Kamloops,” he said. “Not trying to pump my own tires, but there’s a larger population moving into the downtown core and there’s a lack of diverse nightlife here.” The Blue Grotto, just two blocks away at 319 Victoria St., is an age 21-plus club that focuses on live music — mostly rock ‘n’ roll. The new club will cater to a slightly younger crowd, down to B.C.’s legal drinking age of 19. Trying not to focus on hip-hop, rap and trance, Johnston said the club will rely on a house DJ playing pop music. He said other clubs, such as the Commodore at 369

Johnston said he’s not trying to step on anyone’s toes with the move. “We’ve had a great working relationship for, well ... the Grotto has been here for 17 years and I’ve had it for almost five,” Johnston said, adding that he and his wife have a combined 55 years in the nightlife industry. “Losing the previous owner, that was a major blow for that name, for that Cactus Jack’s brand. You can’t recapture the lightning in a bottle that was Rob Medves,” Johnston told KTW. Medves owned the club until his death in 2015. The club continued to operate until 2018, when it was set to close before Jordan Landry stepped in. The attempt to revive Cactus Jack’s proved to be too much once the pandemic arrived.

Delwo to seek seat on Kamloops council JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Corally Delwo, who ran for the People’s Party of Canada in the 2021 federal election and for city council in 2018, has announced she is planning to run in the upcoming civic election. Her ideas include freezing rental prices and cutting property taxes for seniors. Delwo, 47, hails from Alberta and moved to Kamloops in 2009. She previously worked as a medic in the oil and gas sector and has also worked as a home-based aesthetician. Delwo is currently doing the books for her husband, who is an oilfield consultant. She has three children and a grandson. Delwo told KTW she is running for council because she believes change is needed at city hall. She said she has backing from friends, family, business owners and past Peoples Party of Canada supporters. The Peoples Party is a right wing federal party led by Maxime Bernier, who created it in September 2018, 16 months after he narrowly lost the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race to Andrew Scheer. In the September 2021 federal election, Delwo received 5.7 per cent of the vote under the PPC banner in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding, losing to Conservative MP Frank Caputo, but finishing ahead of Green Party of Canada candidate Iain Currie. In the 2018 civic election, Delwo finished second-last among a field of 21 councillor candidates, receiving 2,635 votes (2.43 per cent of the vote). Arjun Singh topped the polls with 12,203 votes (11.26 per cent of the vote). Asked about her candidacy in the Oct. 15 election, Delwo said she hopes to stand out by listening to the community. “Running for city council removes me from the partisan politics that occurs with federal

and provincial politics, so I get to just be myself and speak for my community and what they need, rather than what a party wants,” she said. Delwo said she has heard concerns about an influx of homeless people in Kamloops. She pointed to record overdose numbers in British Columbia and said harm reduction is not working. She suggested increasing recovery and supports, including for rental housing. “The rental prices in Kamloops are absolutely ridiculous and I would actually propose that we do some sort of rental freeze, maybe pushing the provincial government to look at the rental prices in Kamloops and around the province,” she said, noting her children cannot afford to live on their own due to the cost of housing. Delwo has another idea when it comes to housing affordability. “I think that we need a better program for seniors in the grant aspect,” she said, noting seniors worked their whole lives, bought their homes and face a high cost of living in retirement. “Maybe we need to lower the taxes for seniors
so that they can stay in their own homes for longer, rather than have to sell them and lose them.” Other issues top of mind for Delwo include businesses downtown, in North Kamloops, Sahali and Aberdeen facing safety concerns, road conditions and health care. Delwo helped organize local protests against COVID19 government measures during the pandemic and was an administrator for the Freedom Kamloops Facebook page. “I’m not an anti-vax and that is a word that should quit being used towards the group of people fighting against the mandates,” Delwo said. “What I’m against is people being forced to do something to their body to keep their jobs or to travel or to attend entertainment. I mean, my kids and me are vaccinated for our normal vaccinations, but I was never told that I had to do that to keep my job or to go anywhere, so I don’t believe that the coercion and forcing of people to do something against their will is right.” Delwo can be found online at corallydelwo.com.

Riding in memory of late Kamloops doctor KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kamloops Cycling Coalition a memorial ride this past Saturday, honouring the Kamloops doctor who died after colliding with a transport truck as he cycled down a multi-use path next to Highland Road in Juniper Ridge. Andrew van der Westhuizen, who was a radiologist at Royal Inland Hospital, died from his injuries on June 30, after spending weeks in hospital following the May 11 collision. He collided with the truck — which was headed in the same direction — when it turned right, crossing over the multi-use path to enter a dump site for ongoing construction in the area. Among those who took part in Saturday’s memorial ride was Andrew’s wife, Jen van der Westhuizen, who was there with daughter Bailey. In the days before the memorial ride, Jen told KTW she was overwhelmed and grateful for the outpouring of support from the Kamloops community, neighbours and her husband’s colleagues. “It is a huge testament to the type of human he was,” Jen said, adding the response shows just how far-reaching Andrew’s
kindness spread. “The overreaching words are what a kind human he was and the way he made people feel was such a positive impact and we’re thankful to the community coming together to put on the memorial bike ride and the blood clinics that will be popping up in Andrew’s honour,” Jen said. Jen said the family moved to Kamloops from the Lower Mainland a year ago for Andrew’s career and have now moved back home to Campbell River to be close to family. Jen noted their Kamloops home overlooked the site of Andrew’s accident, explaining it would have been too difficult to continue living in the home and passing by the site each day while travelling in and out of the neighbourhood. The route past the accident site is the only road in and out of Juniper Ridge. A celebration of life will be held for Andrew in his hometown Victoria on Saturday, Aug. 13. It will be live-streamed, a link to which will be available at celebratingAndrew.com. In addition, a donor-awareness event in Andrew’s memory will take place in the new Royal Inland Hospital Atrium on Wednesday, Aug. 10, at 10 a.m.

Grant for Kamloops Food Policy Council KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kamloops Food Policy Council and Southern Stl’atl’imx Charitable Society in Lillooet will each receive $58,000 of provincial funding, part of $800,000 being distributed throughout British Columbia through the Victoria Foundation’s Food Security Provincial Initiatives Fund.
Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction Nicholas Simons noted the importance of improving food supply and food security. Funding for the Kamloops Food Policy Council will support the Working Group for Indigenous Food Security to increase awareness of the underlying issues, concerns and strate-
gies affecting food security in Indigenous communities. Dawn Morrison, founder and research curator with the Working Group for Indigenous Food Security, said the funding will help the group “transcend the challenges and limitations imposed within the institutional frameworks that are the root cause of many of the wicked sys-
temic social and environmental issues of our time.” Funding for the Southern Stl’atl’imx Charitable Society will help expand its gardening program in the lower lake communities of Skatin, Samahquam and Douglas. This includes youth gatherings, intergenerational work bees, upgrades and ongoing financial support.
“Land-based programming led by Indigenous communities and organizations is vital to food security and Indigenous food sovereignty,” Victoria Foundation CEO Sandra Richardson said. “This funding will expand and deepen the work already underway in communities while also improving program sustainability.”

Free produce stand opens THE PILOT PROJECT IS IN MCDONALD PARK KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The McDonald Park Neighbourhood Association has unveiled its new free community produce stand in the North Kamloops park’s community garden. The first-of-its-kind pilot project is supported by the City of Kamloops and provides free fresh vegetables and fruit to seniors, families and individuals needing a helping hand as food prices escalate with inflation. McDonald Park Neighbourhood Association directors Sarah Johnstone and Barb Robinson were at the park on Aug. 5 for the launch. This stand offers food for anyone to access regardless of income, living situation, status or background. Donations will come from residents contributing excess produce from their gardens or fridges and will be monitored by community volunteers on a weekly basis until the end of the growing/harvesting season. If successful, the free produce stand model is expected to be replicated in other community gardens
A21
in Kamloops. The community produce stand is part of McDonald Park’s community garden revitalization project, which has been boosted by help from Interior Community Services and Kamloops Art Party. Over the past few months, the community garden has seen the installation of decorative fence boards painted with flowers, bees and butterflies by community members and Kamloops Art Party artists, bird nesting boxes from Wild Birds Unlimited, two accessible garden boxes and a compost bin mural from local muralist Kelly Wright. Wright also painted the produce stand to tie with the existing washroom and change room murals he completed in 2019. McDonald Park is boarded by McDonald Avenue, King Street and Park Street. NEED TO KNOW Kamloopsians are encouraged to drop off donations and take whatever items they need. • People can drop off
veggies or fruit from their garden or fridge whenever there is a shelf open. • Only fruit, vegetables and herbs are accepted. Items should be in edible condition and not already rotten or overly wilted. • Donated food need not be homegrown. Those with excess store-bought produce are encouraged to drop it off at the stand. • The stand is located near the community garden, with shelves on both sides. If only one shelf is open, but is full, another shelf may be opened. • Once the growing season is over in the fall, the shelves will be shut and will re-open next summer. The McDonald Park Neighbourhood Association will have volunteers checking in on the stand daily to remove produce that has gone bad and to keep the stand area tidy. More volunteers are needed. Those interested in committing to a week rotation between now and mid-fall can send an email to mcdonaldparkna@ gmail.com.

Panama’s cloud forests, coffee and islands LAUREN KRAMER
SPECIAL TO KTW
travelwriterstales.com
I
f you want the champagne of coffee — the world’s most expensive — there’s just one place to go: Boquete, a small town on the slopes of the Baru Volcano in Panama’s Chiriqui province. Boquete’s Geisha coffee, which sells for a whopping $600 per pound, is coveted by Asia’s high society for its jasmine, flowery taste and relative unavailability. Panama is a small, modest player in the coffee industry, but what it does produce consistently wins the top awards in the world’s coffee competitions. On the Elida Estate Coffee Farm, I joined master coffee taster Lan Laws, breathlessly following him through steep slopes, densely packed with coffee plants. Elida is one of 150 coffee micro-farms, many of them started by American expats soon after their work on the Panama Canal was completed in 1914. They ventured up to Chiriqui, enchanted by cool mountain air, densely forested slopes and towering peaks of Volcan Baru,where they settled on the slopes, devoting themselves to growing Arabica coffee. Boquete is fairly new on the tourist map, its first hotel opening just 23 years ago. Today, the small town of 19,000 still has a strong expat population, especially after 2010, when the American Association of Retired Persons named it a top

retirement destination. Its dusty streets and small storefronts selling fresh mangos, rambutan and citrus, having become a hub for adventure travellers coveting whitewater rafting, hiking, ziplines, canopy treks and, of course, good coffee. While my daughters zipped and shrieked through the treetops at adrenaline-pumping speeds, I chose a quieter walk through the hanging bridges, suspended over rivers and slopes of the Palo Alto mountains. En route, my guide Isabel pointed out 450-year-old mamoncillo trees and some of the 1,100 species of orchid that proliferate in the cloud forest. Thick, lush tropical vegetation

surrounds me and the sound of a rushing river fills my ears as a cool breeze cuts the 35 C heat of Panama’s rainy season. “Ten years ago, it was much cooler here,” Isabel notes sadly. “Global warming is changing everything and we’re losing species as a result of climate change.” We travel west on the Americana Highway later in the day to join a rafting trip down the Old Chiriqui River, whose whitewater tumbles from the slopes of the volcano, flanked by forests and narrow canyon walls. It’s a fast rollercoaster down class 3-4 rapids that leaves us breathless, exhilarated and soaking wet. So we’re sleepy for the next part of our journey — a drive

over the continental divide that separates the highlands from the Caribbean coastal port of Almirante, the gateway to the Bocas del Toro archipelago. Prime among Panama’s attractions, Bocas has it all: turquoise waters where dolphins are easily sighted, white-sand beaches with palm trees leaning at precarious angles and island towns filled with West Indian Caribbean sounds and flavours. It’s a scene straight out of a postcard and one that forces even the most work-addicted travellers to put their phones away and soak up the beauty.

bungalows suspended on stilts above the sea. From hammocks on our deck, we throw fish food into the water and are soon entertained by a swirl of activity. A five-minute commute by water taxi takes us to Old Town Bastimentos, where we relish meals of plantains and Caribbean fried chicken. At night we’re lulled to sleep by the vibe of joyful music that drifts over the Caribbean. There are 130 islands in the Bocas archipelago, which is home to the Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park. As our trip draws to a close we board a day-long boat tour to explore the park, careening through islets thick with mangrove trees until we’re rewarded with the sight of a sloth hanging nonchalantly in the crook of a branch. We snorkel around massive chunks of brain coral at Isla Zapatilla, circle the islands powder-soft beach by foot and bask in the perfect beauty of this Caribbean jewel. When a gleaming pod of dolphins cavorts near our boat, it’s the cherry on top of a trip that will live long in memory. Costa Rica is hot on the tourist map but Boquete and Bocas remain quiet spots, relatively undiscovered. For those that venture to Panama’s highlands and Caribbean islands, the rewards are plenty.

SPORTS Broncos boast Nigerian Nightmare INSIDE: Venom fall short in B.C. final | A26
MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
amloops has its very own Nigerian Nightmare. Maurice Onyemaenu, who had never played a down of football until last summer, earned B.C. Football Conference and Canadian Junior Football League defensive player of the week honours after recording 10 tackles for the Kamloops Broncos in a 14-7 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo on July 30 at Hillside Stadium. “He came out last year and had no idea what he was doing,” Broncos’ head coach Braden Vankoughnett said. “He came back this year as a beast for us.” Onyemaenu did not know of Christian Okoye when asked on Friday. He plans to do some reading. Okoye was 21 when he came to the U.S. in 1983 to compete in throws for the Azusa Pacific University Cougars in California and pursue a spot on the Nigerian Olympic team, but the discus expert was omitted from the squad that competed at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. He was devastated. “I thought to myself, ’I’m going to play football,’” Okoye told NFL Films. “I didn’t know anything about the game.” He was 23 when he picked up

the pigskin for the first time, playing running back under Asuza Pacific head coach Jim Milhon. Okoye was drafted into the NFL in 1987 and led the league in rushing yards in 1989, his exploits with the Kansas City Chiefs earning him the Nigerian Nightmare moniker and a place in the team’s hall of fame. How Onyemaenu’s career pans out remains to be seen, but its start bares resemblance to Okoye’s. Onyemaenu came to Kamloops
in 2018 to study at Thompson Rivers University and planned to play soccer for the TRU WolfPack. “I failed woefully at it,” Onyemaenu said of his attempt to catch on with the Pack’s soccer squad. “The coach told me I was overweight and I had to lose 20 pounds. I went into the gym. After six or seven months, I started looking like I was roided up. I started looking freakish. I grew so much muscle I didn’t want to go back to soccer. I was too huge for soccer.”
Vankoughnett spotted Onyemaenu kicking the soccer ball around in 2019 with a group of international students and quickly shifted into recruiting mode. Onyemaenu was not interested at the time, but reconsidered the gridiron last year when approached again by Vankoughnett. “He said, ’Hey, man. You’re really huge and I think you’d be wasting your time if you’re not playing football,’” said
Onyemaenu, who is from Abagana, which is about a twohour drive from Enugu, Okoye’s hometown. “I said, ‘You know what, maybe this might just be a family talent.’ And, geez, here we are.” Onyemaenu said Jeff Okudah, a cornerback for the Detroit Lions, is his second cousin and he has close family ties to Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ offensive lineman Kay Okafor. “I feel like I have the talent,” Onyemaenu said. “I want to make it professionally, CFL and NFL some day.” His lofty goals don’t seem likely to be thwarted by lack of work ethic. Onyemaenu began his rookie season for the Broncos in 2021 as a backup receiver and finished as the sixth or seventh option on the defensive-lineman depth chart. “It was motivation,” Vankoughnett said. “He took it on himself to grow and develop into a better player. Maurice is one of the hardest-working guys I know, in terms of work and managing his schedule to pay for his international student fees and be a football athlete. He runs his own personal training business. Football has a great future for him and he’s working hard for it, too.” Onyemaenu, who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 230 pounds, has found a home at the defensive end position.

Adanacs prevail in testy provincial final MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Graduating Kamloops Venom captain Tanner Koroluk and his head coach, Liam Hagerty, were banished from the floor, ejected and dejected while the Coquitlam Adanacs cruised to the tier 1 junior B provincial lacrosse title on Sunday. The Adanacs earned a 17-6 victory in Game 2 of the two-game aggregate B.C. championship series in sweltering Memorial Arena, with temperatures hovering around 33 C and tempers boiling over on the floor. “This was the best team I ever played for, the deepest roster, the greatest guys on and outside of the floor,” said Koroluk, whose Venom last month swept the South Okanagan Flames in three games to claim the Thompson-Okanagan

Junior Lacrosse League banner. “I’m going to miss these guys. We were a great team. I’m getting emotional just thinking about it.” Coquitlam bested Kamloops 11-5 in Game 1 on Saturday in the Snake Pit, so the series was all but over after the first period on Sunday, with
the visitors leading 6-1. Referees appeared to have lost patience with jawing from the Kamloops bench and frustration was brewing among players and in the crowd, with fans was not shy in voicing displeasure. Hagerty was given the boot with 4:32 remaining in the second period after expressing discontent with a hit on one of his top players, Temeke7 Gottfriedsen. About six minutes into the third period, one of the referees issued a game misconduct to the individual on the Venom bench who used a curse word that begins with an F to tell the official where to go, which was to a place called “off.” Koroluk fell on the sword when the referee was unable to identify the guilty serpent. “If no one owns up to their penalty on the bench, they just say they’ll kick the
COMMUNITY ARTS CENTRE
captain instead,” Koroluk said. “No one was owning up to it. It was a pretty gone game, so I just said I’ll take it for the team.” Spencer Vaughan of the Venom and Chase Hanson of the Adanacs engaged in a spirited tilt with 6:26 remaining in the third period. “A lot of people were just angry,” Koroluk said. “All year, we thought we had it. We’re thinking bigger picture, bigger picture. Just coming down to the end here, we know we’re done and some old guys just wanted to get out there and give it one more shot.” With 6:07 remaining in the third period, Kamloops runner AJ McInnis jumped Manny Mannarino of the Adanacs and began punching him, which led to a fiveminute penalty for instigating, a five-minute penalty for fighting and a game misconduct.
“It’s just tempers boiling over and, being down so much, it’s pretty frustrating and some guys just kind of went over the edge a little bit,” Hagerty said. Kamloops assistant coach and team president Doug Clark called a timeout to settle his charges. The Adanacs had more than enough power play time to run out the clock in the final six minutes of the game and opted not to leave their own zone during the man advantage. They repeatedly ran out the 30-second shot clock before returning the ball to the short-handed Venom, a tactic that made for an awkward end to a provincial final and gave the home team ample time to ponder defeat. “You know what, it’s the kind of stuff we don’t want in our game, but we played hard,” Coquitlam head coach Tyson Abbott said.
“We got to a point where we could just settle it down toward the end of the game and cool our jets. We just didn’t need to engage with them. No risk of injury. We’re going to nationals.” Mannarino finished with a game-high nine points, including seven assists. Gottfriedsen, Josh Abel, Caleb Campbell, Seamus Bankier, Jax Anderson and Nate Van Unen had goals for the Venom. The Adanacs will compete for the national junior B lacrosse title at the Founders Cup tournament, which will run from Aug. 15 to Aug. 22 in Brampton, Ont. “They’re a really good team,” Hagerty said. “It was an awesome season, a ton of fun and very successful up until the last weekend. I think we were just a little bit outmatched by a team that’s been tested by better teams this year.”

Hay talks clearing air with Gaglardi, return to Blazers MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Don Hay broke briefly from speaking of his surprise return to the Kamloops Blazers to tend to his granddaughter, who was in his garage and feeling the sting after taking a puck to the wrist. Grandpa made it all better and rejoined the phone call to talk of another wound, a professional fracture that appears to have healed, at least enough to pave the way for a third stint with his hometown WHL club, this time as an associate coach. Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi made sweeping changes four years ago and, when the dust settled, Hay was no longer head coach of the team, his exodus packaged by the club as a retirement from the Blazers, with an appointment to an advisory role. Hay, the winningest head coach in WHL history (750 victories), did no advising for the Blazers and instead moved on
to the Portland Winterhawks, coaching for four seasons as deputy to bench boss Mike Johnston, helping the U.S. Division club to a record of 145-57-12-9 during his tenure. The Blazers handed the reins to Serge Lajoie after Hay’s departure and his one-and-done stint preceded the hiring of Shaun Clouston, who has guided Kamloops to three consecutive B.C. Division championships. In July 2021, Clouston added GM to his job titles. Clouston, with the help of assistant GM Tim O’Donovan, sought to round out the club’s hockey staff following the egress of assistant coach Mark Holick in June, with the Blazers set to embark on a season
that will finish with the club hosting the Memorial Cup tournament at Sandman Centre. “When we looked at the people who were available or potentially available, Don was at or near the top of the list,” said Clouston, the leader in wins (498) among active WHL head coaches. “There was a bit of a process there. Fairly early on, Tom and Don had a conversation and I think that really helped with the process. He [Hay] was very surprised when I reached out. Flattered, but a little bit surprised and I think it would be because of the departure.” Hay on the dialogue with Gaglardi: “I talked to Tom through the process. That was a concern for me, definitely, and we
talked it over. We both talked our way through it and I understood the way he was thinking and he understood my side of it, as well. We both have the ability to move past it. That was a big step in making the decision.” Clouston and Hay, whose professional encounters have come mostly as opposing coaches, have met often in recent weeks to discuss philosophy and ascertain assurance of off-ice compatibility. “What was so positive for me to hear from Don and other people is just how effective he’s been in that role (support role in Portland), how he’s been able to connect to the players, support the players, encourage the players, offer them advice, really just coach hockey players and we are really going benefit from all of those things,” Clouston said. “In talking to Don and hearing from other people, testimonials, his time in Portland has been very enjoyable for Don. He absolutely loves hockey. He’s really enjoyed

KTW earlier this summer his players have room to find another gear, a relentless will to win that is necessary to become national champion. Hay, 68, brings knowledge, experience and wisdom, having won four Memorial Cups and seven WHL championships as either a head coach or assistant coach, but Clouston values one trait above all else — ability to motivate. “It’s a Memorial Cup year, so that’s part of it, but both of us felt to make it just about this season wasn’t the right reason,” said Clouston, whose contract extension was announced last week, along
with news of Hay’s hiring. “It can be part of the reasoning. We really wanted to make sure that whoever we brought in was someone who could add to the program moving forward. Not just this year, but moving forward past this year.” The club is working to promote parttime assistant coach Chris Murray to a full-time assistant role and expects goaltending coach Dan De Palma and part-time coach Aaron Keller to return for the 20222023 campaign. In May of 2018, Hay was asked to comment on the unusual optics of his retirement from the Blazers. Why would he
step away, with his club bidding to host the 2020 Memorial Cup? How could he pass up on the opportunity to ride off into the sunset as the national champion head coach of his hometown team? “That’s the Disney scenario,” Hay said. “That would be great if it happened that way, to walk away being the Memorial Cup champion and not have any type of regrets. When I came here four years ago, that was my dream. It didn’t happen.” The circle of life is still open to a fairytale finish in this Disney epic. “It’s funny how situations change,” Hay said.

this new role later on in his career as a support staff.” Hay, who spoke highly of Johnston and Winterhawks’ ownership, was not expecting to hear from the Blazers. “I was really surprised,” Hay said. “I had agreed with Mike to go back to Portland for this year. Shaun approached Mike. Mike gave him permission. I had some interesting discussions with Shaun. We didn’t really know each other, other than professionally. The more we talked, the more I got to know him and it seemed like a real good decision to make, to have that opportunity to come home.” Clouston told

Dig It: Perusing projectile points of war THEY MAY HAVE BEEN USED IN INTER-REGIONAL CONFLICTS AMONG FIRST NATIONS ABBY WILSON
SPECIAL TO KTW
W
henever I see a projectile point, I am always impressed with the level of detail and time that went in to turning a plain rock into a useable tool. While working in the Big Bar locality on the Fraser River, a considerable number of multinotched, or serrated, projectile points were recovered, leaving me even more amazed by the meticulous work put into these tools. Why did the makers begin taking the extra time and effort to put serrations on the projectile point, after thousands of years without? (Warning: this contains some unpleasant details). Projectile points in the Canadian Plateau of British Columbia are assigned to archaeological time units using specific size and shape characteristics. The age ranges are determined through carbon 14 analysis of datable materials found in association with the same point styles in other archaeological sites. The most recent archaeological unit is the Kamloops Horizon, which dates from 1,200 to 200 years before present. The characteristic projectile points from this Horizon are typically small (1.5 to three centimetres long), thin and triangular in shape. Larger points became more frequent toward the recent end of the time period. The points have two small, opposing, U-shaped notches

above the base and are predominantly produced from fine grained volcanic rock, such as basalt and dacite. Photograph 1 above shows a typical Kamloops Horizon point. The multi-notched variation of the Kamloops Horizon point has two or more deep, narrow, U-shaped notches along one blade edge. This style has been found in the Mid-Fraser and Thompson drainages in sites dating from 600 to 200 years before present. Photograph 2 above shows an assortment of complete and fragmented multi-notched Kamloops Horizon points collected from a notable site in the Big Bar area. Although more in depth research is still needed, it has
been theorized that multi-notched projectile points may have been designed for use in serious interpersonal conflicts. The extra notches would result in greater damage during arrow penetration and would also cause more damage when removed. The notches on a thin projectile point make it more prone to breaking, either upon impact or via extraction, which would leave the tip of the point in the wound. This may promote infection or require invasive removal, resulting in further physical damage. Secwépemc oral histories, along with ethnographic record, reference inter-regional conflict and tensions between nations and the Fraser River and Plateau was
an area with significant conflict and overlapping territories. Hunting and fishing grounds could have been the subject of social conflict and sections along the Fraser River still have assigned fishing rights today. Multi-notched projectile points were utilized just prior to the arrival of settlers and the introduction of colonial weapons may have resulted in a shift from stone tools for conflict. As addressed in a previous Dig It column, a metal projectile point was also recovered in this area, which may be correlated with the timeline of the arrival of settlers and the introduction of new arrow material with the potential to cause greater injuries. To have made the shift from tools manufactured for means of subsistence through hunting and gathering to a weapon of warfare
is part of a shift of lifestyle and inter-regional group dynamics. What kinds of shifts in society took place for this to occur and what caused certain groups to aim to make war on others? Oral histories and ethnographic accounts are the best way to gain understanding of the societal interactions and the archaeological record will hopefully help instigate and continue those conversations and research.

Someone who wants to be found
“
It wants to be found.” That’s the chilling warning Gandalf gives to Frodo about the One Ring To Rule Them All. Sauron, the evil maker of the ring, is searching high and low for it, sending his Nazgul riders in hot pursuit. That makes for interesting drama in the Lord of the Ring series. Yet there is someone who “wants to be found”. Anyone who has children knows how delightful it is to play hide and seek with a threeyear-old. He or she “wants to be found” and often makes endearing little squeaks to make sure the “seeker” finds them. Then, when the parent switches places and becomes the “hider”, they, too, want to be found so they can see the joy and delight on the face of their little one when they are discovered. It is one of the most precious times we can share with our children. Letting our little ones “find” us is how we show how much we love them. Of course,
CHRIS KEMPLING YOU GOTTA HAVE
FAITH
if we wished to, we could hide so well they would never find us, but what loving parent would do that? We have a maker, but he doesn’t need to look for us. The all-knowing God of creation knows exactly where we are, all the time. But he “wants to be found” and does not make it hard to find him. The prophet Isaiah writes, “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he

is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.” That is quite a promise. But it requires a change of heart, a change of mind, a “turning away” from sinful ways of acting and evil ways of thinking. And one should not confuse what Isaiah’s meaning of the phrase “while he is near.” If we are far from God, it is not because he is the one who moved. We are the ones who can move closer to God if we choose. The Greek word for repentance is metanoia. It literally means “change of mind.” Our approach to God requires a transformation of our mind. We must move beyond the idea that “I believe there is a God” to “I believe in God.” God is much more than an idea or a concept — he is a person. A person is someone we have a relationship with and that someone loves us so much, he personally sent his own son, Jesus, to show us the way to him. If your own child was lost, would you delegate someone else to look for him or her? Of course not. You would drop everything, go without food and sleep, recruit all your friends and neighbours and beseech the authorities to help you until you found your missing child. That is what God has done. He poured his own essence into the body of a man, Jesus, and sent him to lead us all to him. That is why Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me.” As a new member of the
Orthodox Church, my priest assigned me some reading to help orient me to the Orthodox way of thinking and worship. One book that has made a profound impression on me is The Orthodox Way by Bishop Kallistos Ware. Ware talks about the need to treat our relationship with God as one of mutual love. He writes, “To believe in God is not to accept the possibility of his existence because it has been ‘proved’ to us by some theoretical argument, but it is to put our trust in One whom we know and love. Faith is not the supposition that something might be true, but the assurance that someone is there ... Faith, then, signifies a personal relationship with God ... To know a person is essentially to love him or her; there can be no awareness of other persons without mutual love ... God is personal, and he is love.” The most important thing that happens between God and the human soul is to love and be loved. But there is so much that gets in the way of this love: selfishness, lust, greed, hatred, pride, pursuing money excessively, etc. That is why repentance, a change of mind from worldly pursuits, is such a recurring theme in the Bible. “For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him.” He wants to be found, but you are one who must go looking. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Joanne Lynn Maheux It is with a heavy heart the family of Joanne Lynn Maheux announce her sudden passing on July 29, 2022 from various health complications. Joanne was still mourning the loss of her late husband of 50 years and never fully recovered from his passing in late 2020.
They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel. For no-one knows the heartache That lies behind our smiles No-one knows how many times We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt You’re so wonderful to think of But so hard to be without. Love you always, and miss you so much. Forever in our hearts. Love you Kid!
Always in my thoughts Forever in my heart Love, Heather
Lenny and Ben
August 22, 1983 – August 1, 2009
I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.
Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.
In Loving Memory of Sharon Keyes
In Memoriams
Thinking of you on the Day You Went Away Jesse Harold Gitzel
Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.
But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time.
In Memoriams

Joanne was born in Vancouver B.C. and grew up in North Vancouver and Shaughnesay where she enjoyed figure skating, loved board games with her sister and pajama parties with her girlfriends. In 1971, after a quick whirlwind romance, she married her life partner, Joseph (John) Albert Gerald Maheux whom she supported while he joined the RCMP and was posted to various municipalities in the Lower Mainland and raised two children, Brigette and Jason. Joanne had a love for the game of Bingo, Keno tickets, scratch and wins and penny slot machines. She only ever talked about the winnings, and never divulged the losses. One of her nicknames is “Tickee Queen”. Spending time at the lake was how she loved to enjoy the summer months. In 2019, Joanne and John took their dream vacation to New Zealand and Australia where they shared and created beautiful memories together. She loved Elvis and never missed an episode of Young and the Restless. Joanne was known to say “I’m fine, everything is fine”, “don’t go there” when you were teasing her about something, and always passed along “a hug and a squeeze” to her loved ones at the end of every conversation. Joanne will lovingly be remembered by her dear sister Camille (Dave), daughter Brigette (Glenn), son Jason, her two adored grandchildren, Cole and Brock, and her 96-yearold mother in law, Dorian.
13 years in Heaven
At Joanne’s request, there will be no service. Joanne would love for you to give a hug and a squeeze to your loved ones and go out and buy a scratch and win or Keno ticket and think of her as you play.
We Love you, Jess Forever in our Hearts Love always Mum, Dad Kyle, Char, Lil Jesse, your Family xxxxx
May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of Despair
Today, like many other days bring special thoughts of you of happy times we shared and caring things you used to do And once more, it’s a reminder that life’s road is sometimes rough because the time we shared just wasn’t long enough For you were someone special who was thought so highly of who’ll always be remembered with affection, warmth and Love So sending thoughts to Heaven on the day you went away and hope you know you’re missed more than words could ever say.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director Every Wednesday in KTW! Q. Green cremation? A. Frankly, the cremation process uses a lot of fuel. There’s concern over emissions from the mercury in teeth and from breast implants. Some funeral homes use OSB when building their cremation containers. That produces a chemical reaction when burned. Probably the greenest thing would be to wrap the body in cotton and bury it. But there are laws against that, too!

Darlyne Rodgers (nee Meckling) Born: Lipton, Sk, April 28, 1938 Passed: Kamloops, BC July 31, 2022
Darlyne Rodgers passed away peacefully at Overlander Extended Care. She was the only child of Lillian Neff and Bill Meckling, and grew up in Lipton, SK. She later moved to Fort Qu'Appelle, SK, with husband, Rene Simoneau. The couple had one child, Debora Simoneau, Kamloops, BC. After moving to Kamloops in 1968, Darlyne worked as a Homemaker for Kamloops Home Support Services and later became Director of KHSS. She loved to curl, play baseball, and was a staunch Blue Jays fan. She also enjoyed cruises, RVing, and land trips with her husband, Bob, and daughter. In later years, Darlyne rarely missed morning coffee at Tim’s and could be seen chatting there with numerous friends and acquaintances.
210 Lansdowne • 425 Tranquille Rd. 250-377-8225 • DrakeCremation.com AFFORDABLE & NO BLACK SUITS
Darlyne will be sadly missed by daughter, Debora, cousins in SK and BC and many friends. Darlyne was predeceased by her mother, Lillian Neff; father, Bill Meckling; step-dad, Jim Neff; and husband, Bob Rodgers.
Joseph Edward Rittenhouse
Thank you to the nurses and Care Aides in Overlander’s Blueberry and Orchard Grove units, who loved Darlyne and took great care of her under difficult circumstances. Thank you Dr. Cristina Liciu. Thanks also to family friends, Patricia Schneider, Lisa Bragg, Kathy Dahl, and Wes Palmer, who spent time with Darlyne and offered their help during her final days.
March 10, 1951 - July 27, 2022 On July 27th Joseph Edward Rittenhouse moved on to join our Mother and Father (Eleanore and David Rittenhouse) plus two of our brothers, David John and Philip, in the great beyond.
No Funeral by request. Donations to the Alzheimer's Society Canada (Lewy Body Dementia focus) appreciated.
After moving to San Diego, Joe went to culinary school, and worked as a chef in many fine restaurants in San Diego.

Bonnie Jean Flanagan
1934 - 2022
July 24, 1942 - May 23, 2022
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our loving Father and beloved Grandfather, Carl Stefanik of Kamloops on June 26, 2022 the age of 88 years.
Bonnie was born in Calgary, Alberta and grew up in White Cliff in West Vancouver. Bonnie was a grandmother to three, a mother to two and a loving wife to one.
Carl will always be lovingly remembered by his family; daughters Susan Gobbee (Jerry), and Marianne Stefanik of Kamloops, grandchildren Joseph (Cass) Gobbee, Jason (Chantelle) Gobbee, Justin (Tara) Gobbee and Jaime Laplante of the Kamloops area; great grandchildren Maya, Jacob, Taylynn, Gavin, Keaton, Kiara and Harper Gobbee; brothers John of Vernon and Bob of Terrace, sisters Agnes Kern of Brampton, ON, Ann Halicki of Vancouver and Irene Willman of Langley; brother and sister in-laws, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Carl was predeceased by his loving wife Patricia of nearly 58 years, their son David Stefanik and Carl’s brothers Steve and Nick Stefanik.
Bonnie grew up with her older sister Kenna. Throughout her life, she had a contagious laugh and a caring heart. There in West Vancouver she swam with her sister and competed for handmade medals from their father.
Carl was one of eight children born to Nick Stefanik who immigrated from Czechoslovakia in approximately 1928 with his wife Agnes Stefanik and their eldest son Steve in approximately in 1930. Carl was born on March 19, 1934 in Gainford, AB, growing up on a farm. He did many farm jobs as well those of faller, skidding logs with horses, and later meeting his future wife Patricia, while driving taxi with Patricia having been the dispatcher. Carl worked at Valley Concrete in Mission Flats for approximately 20 years. He went onto work for CNR from 1981 – 1990 when he officially retired but kept busy doing odd jobs, as keeping busy was a must for Carl. He loved active sports, playing on softball, hockey and bowling leagues. Carl also enjoyed tennis, pool and his weekly poker games with his friends, but Carl’s main love was for the game of golf. Carl’s other interests were in his vegetable garden (which he offered to family and friends) and self-taught wood working projects. He built many projects over the years for his family and friends. Carl taught a lot to his children and grandchildren about doing the job right. There wasn’t anything he could not build. Many thanks to Trinity Hospice for their warm support through the last days. DAD taught his children and grandkids many valuable lessons throughout the years, about the value of family and working hard. “Same here.” We want to thank Dad for making sure we tried our best and that he was a strong pillar in our family. A Funeral Service in care of The Kamloops Funeral Home. Service to be held Thursday, August 18, 2022 at 12:30pm. Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577
Later in her life, she met her loving and of course Aussie husband, Neville. After just one month of knowing each other, they fell in love. Hand by hand the couple travelled the world and created many memories and hilarious stories. Not to mention that both of them completed the El Camino and were hoping to go there again. After travelling various countries and experiencing many cultures they decided to settle in Kamloops, BC. They shared their love of sportsmanship and leadership with the community. Bonnie completed several marathons and was active throughout her life. Bonnie Flanagan started the Subway stores in Kamloops and was one of the founding members of Developing World Connections. Bonnie has left her mark on Kamloops and all of those who have been fortunate to meet her. Bonnie was a mother to two sons, Grayden and Darren, and always supported the two with her positivity and realism. She showed them how to be good workers and supported them in their life pursuits. Everything she took on or started she took with stride and put her full heart into it. She was a role model for her sons and the backbone of the family. She shared her love with her grandchildren as well, as she would read to them before putting them to bed. She soothed them to sleep by sitting with them until they slept and would pretend to put sandman dust in their eyes. A sleepover with their grandmother Bonnie was always loving and creative. One such shared adventure was to look for dinosaur eggs in the backyard (even though they were just a pile of oval rocks). She was a woman of class and taught the grandchildren how to host the best tea parties, including chocolate-dipped strawberries. Bonnie was known to be a cheerful woman who enjoyed a beer shandy and loved sharing stories with family and friends. Bonnie was the historian of the family and knew the family tree by heart, thus passing this passion onto her granddaughter. She continued to amaze our family as a grandmother, a mother and a wife. Although she hated heights, she will certainly leave a towering space in all of our hearts, and we will miss her greatly. I think we can say for everyone we will miss her laugh the most. Special thanks to all that were involved in her care, especially the nurses, care aides and the guidance of Dr. Jill Calder. - The Flanagan Family A Celebration of Bonnie’s life will take place on Sunday, September 4, 2022, in the Parkside Lounge of the Sandman Centre at 1:00 pm. We ask that all who wish to come please respond with the number in your party to graydensam@hotmail.com by August 15th. Please attend in bright clothing with colourful stories to share.
Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favourite charity.

Shelley Deanne Botel of Kamloops, was born on November 29, 1955 and passed peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family on August 3rd, 2022. Our Mom was a great Mom. She was easy to talk to, lean on, and confide in. She took others under her wing that needed a “Mom” or “Mom advice”. We couldn’t go anywhere without bumping into someone she knew. She always loved to stop and catch up or talk on the phone FOREVER. Although she loved to talk, she was an exceptional listener. Mom’s passion was traveling. She LOVED to travel with our father/her husband of 39 years Doug, and other family and friends. When they weren’t traveling, they were planning their next holiday. Sometimes it was a simple weekend to the Coast, a girls shopping trip, or someplace hot in the winter. Mom worked for the TD bank in Kamloops in her earlier years. She loved working with the public, creating life long friendships and making all of her customers feel important. For the past several years she’s worked in various government sectors in administration, the latest being at KRCC. She cherished the friendships she made.

Julian Evans 1945 - 2022
We are sad to announce that a beloved member of our family, Julian Evans, passed away on Friday, July 29th. “Jukes” was a character to the end, and he’ll be fondly missed by all who knew him. Jukes was born in London “within the sound of Bow Bells” - a true Cockney, which he took great pride in! - and was raised in Uxbridge, Middlesex. He was always independent and eager to make his own way in the world, even turning down a prestigious art scholarship in favor of joining the workforce, making his own money, and enjoying a host of youthful (mis)adventures: from jetting around London on a motor scooter with his fellow “Mods” to creatively dodging various barroom brawls with his wit and quick thinking. He also married his first wife Rita, with whom he had his only son, Julian Evans Jr. After several years driving trucks for a plant-hire company, Julian applied his charm and confidence to convincing his employers that he knew enough to join the management team. He quickly proved his worth and became one of their best experts, with a reputation for “magically” producing whatever equipment the client needed as if from thin air. In his spare time, he embraced his natural inner performer, acting in local pantomimes and plays and spending many happy hours at karaoke and as a football referee and coach. When the company he worked for was sold, Jukes came to Kamloops to help nurse his mother in her final days; he loved Canada so much that he settled here permanently, close to his sister and family. He kept up with football and karaoke, and through the latter met his second wife, local potter Angela Meeson. Julian helped her build up her business and spent the happiest years of his life with her, until her premature death due to stroke. In his later years, his health and memory declined, but he was still larger than life, always up for a tale of his mischievous youth, and able to remain living at home thanks to the devoted care of his dear friend Lynda Rainbird. Julian is predeceased by his father, Jack Evans; his mother, Marcelle Evans; his siblings Margaret Julia Clough and Steve Evans; and his wife, Angela Evans. He’s survived by his son, Julian Evans; his grandson, Max Evans; his niece, Michelle Clough; his brother-in-law, JF Myles Clough; his sister-in-law, Elaine Evans; and his stepchildren Anne and Bob Meeson, as well as a host of extended relatives. A service will be held at Schoening Funeral Home at 10:30 AM on August 12th. The service will be livestreamed online for virtual attendance and downloadable video; a link will be available on Schoening’s website, along with an alternate memorial. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.” Margaret Fishback Powers

Malcolm Roy Shaw May 3, 1941 - July 28, 2022
Malcolm passed away on July 28th, 2022 in his hometown, Kamloops, B.C. Malcolm was a diamond driller his entire life and owned his own company, Drilling Exploration, “Diamond Down Deep We Care”. He grew up with, and worked alongside his brothers, Glen and Leo Shaw. Malcolm was very close to his brothers, who he made many fond memories with. Malcolm also grew up spending time with his cousin Mervin Rice. They spent time together on the farm in Archerwill alongside other family, and in later years had many more visits. Malcolm always looked forward to their time together. They were more than cousins; Malcolm was like the big brother Mervin never had. Malcolm then raised his son Wayne Shaw on his own. He did this with great care like everything else in his life. Malcolm would always make the very best dinners for his son from pork chops to roasts every night. Through the later years Malcolm loved spending time with his grandson Dustin. From the horse races, to time in his tomato garden out in Dallas, they did it all together. Malcolm and his granddaughter Jessica always enjoyed their time together as well, especially drives listening to Johnny Cash, where the journey was always better than the destination. Malcolm enjoyed many of the simple things in life; a cup of coffee at the A&W with his friends Stan and Carol, going down to the casino with 5$ to meet his other coffee friends, or chinese dinner surrounded by family. Malcolm also liked a good Rodeo or Pow wow. Malcolms' final resting place will be beside his beloved mother Margaret Shaw and his special Aunt Donnie Rice in Archerwill, Sk. At Malcolms request, there will be no service held for him. Malcolm will be forever remembered and survived by his brothers and sister in laws, Leo and Norma, Glen and Donna, his son Wayne, his daughter SusAnn, his grandson Dustin, his granddaughter Jessica, and great granddaughter Mabel.

GLORIA JEAN ZWAYER Gloria Jean Zwayer, born July 22, 1946, went to her rest in Christ on July 21, 2022 at the age of 76 years young. Gloria was born in Turner Valley, Alberta to Ernest and Elizabeth Sayers who raised her and her three siblings in Kamloops, British Columbia. Gloria was a Cosmetologist in Vancouver and elsewhere in BC for 11 years until she became a Christian and a pilgrim searching for and pointing others to the city of God, as did Abraham, the Father of the Faithful, and her Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus, the King of the Faithful. During her sojourn on Earth, Gloria traveled and travailed the last 46 years of her life in the United States where she became a nurse and massage therapist and resided in Mt. Gilead, Ohio; Punta Gorda and Avon Park, Florida; and West Baden Springs and French Lick, Indiana. Over the years, her patients and clients affectionately called her ‘Gloria Drinkwater’ for her many reminders to keep body and soul hydrated while pointing all to the “Water of Life” (see John 4:14). Gloria would often say, “Spiritual things are Spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:13), and then add, “Walk with eyes of Faith, not with eyes of flesh” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Her life was a testament to her favourite maxim, “The current of Spiritual life thrills the soul as the Words of Christ are believed and practiced” (see Isaiah 40:31). She had the Love, Joy, and Peace of Christ in her life. Christ Jesus was the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life for Gloria. She loved to sing in Church and had a beautiful voice. Gloria’s favourite song, “Christ Jesus Hath Triumphed O’er Satan and Death” (Can Others See Jesus in Me) was sung to her in the waning moments of her life on Earth by her loving husband. She is survived by her husband, Jon Zwayer of West Baden Springs/French Lick, IN who sorely misses her; her daughter Rebecca (Michael) Merder and granddaughter Grace of Huntingburg, IN. Gloria is also survived by her three siblings, her sister, Lysa Sayers-Eckert of Kelowna, BC, and her two brothers, Allan (Ruth) Sayers of Courtenay, BC, and Donald (Dorie) Sayers of Kamloops, BC and by her brothers’ children and several cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernie and Betty Sayers. Gloria requested no funeral. She wanted to bless everybody while they were alive and wanted everyone to bless her life too. If Gloria ever wanted someone to do something for her, she would always say, "Do me a blessing...", she would never say "Do me a favour..." The word 'Enthusiasm' comes from the Greek words, 'En Theos' which means "In God" in English. Those of God who knew Gloria loved her Enthusiasm. They loved her Spirit. They loved her Person. Gloria loved Jesus for the best part of her life and, as she loved Jesus, she loved others especially because of Him. She was a loving and faithful wife to her husband, Jon, for almost 40 years and she will be deeply loved forever and ever. When Gloria passed away at her home in Southern Indiana, it was under drought conditions there. It rained there for a week after her demise. Even nature was weeping and mourning Gloria’s passing. “We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. All creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons and daughters of God” (Romans 8:22,19). Gloria treasured a beautiful picture drawing of whom she believed was a little Tk‘emlúpsemc girl, whom she played with in Kamloops when they were very young. Gloria called her “Linda Brown” whenever she saw the drawing, made by her Dad, Ernie, and her face would light up with a great big smile whenever she spoke of her. Gloria wanted her body donated to science. When her ashes are returned, a small memorial service and wake will be held to celebrate her life. Memorial contributions in Gloria’s name may be made to Adventist Development Relief Agency International (ADRA) and/or to Hoosier Uplands Hospice. Messages of hope, encouragement, and/or condolences for Gloria’s family may be sent to Heartcom888@gmail.com.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE & WEEP BY MARY FRYE (1932) Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow.
